Personal Urns
Personal urns are a new and exciting way to memorialize your loved one.
Now we can create a custom urn in the image of your loved one or favorite Celebrity.
New advances in facial reconstruction and 3D printing have made it possible to have an urn made in the image of anyone from just a photograph.
Never forget a face. Personal Urns combine art and technology to create a family heirloom that will be cherished for generations.
Available in Two Sizes
* Full sized will hold all of the ashes of any adult
* Keepsake size is about 1/4 of the full sized and will hold about 25 cubic inches
So if Michael Jackson or Elvis’s family chose this option, I wonder what likeness they would use?
Definitely go with the younger versions.

Talk About A Big NPR Fan
Homeless Man Leaves Behind Surprise: $4 Million
Every day on NPR, listeners hear funding credits — or, in other words, very short, simple commercials.
A few weeks ago, a new one made it to air: “Support for NPR comes from the estate of Richard Leroy Walters, whose life was enriched by NPR, and whose bequest seeks to encourage others to discover public radio.”
NPR’s Robert Siegel wondered who Walters was. So Siegel Googled him.
An article in the online newsletter of a Catholic mission in Phoenix revealed that Walters died two years ago at the age of 76. He left an estate worth about $4 million. Along with the money he left for NPR, Walters also left money for the mission.
But something distinguished Walters from any number of solvent, well-to-do Americans with seven-figure estates: He was homeless.

Bag of Randomness
- WifeGeeding’s post-op appointment went splendidly. So well in fact, the doctor didn’t even charge us.
- Today it’s off to the ocularist to have her old eye adjusted to fit over her new implant. Yeah, I know, it can all get a bit confusing if you aren’t familiar with this kind of stuff.
- When I get together with a lot of my closest friends, we like to quote movies, and often we will quote Kip Dynamite from Napoleon Dynamite – “Like anyone can even know that.”
- That line came to mind when I was researching my home town on the Internets. Supposedly the inventor of the paper clip built a house in Mineral Wells, TX.
- I couldn’t find any information in the Internets to back that claim, which sounds just as funny as Dr Evil when he said his father claimed to have invented the question mark.
- And it appears that Mike Modano of the Dallas Stars was in a dunking booth in Mineral Wells. That would seem extremely generous of him to travel to such a remote and small town to do such a thing. But perhaps the booth was in Dallas and was sponsored by the Crazy Water company from Mineral Wells, that would probably make more sense.
- But then again, Mineral Wells is a hotbed of hockey talent.
- Actually, it’s not.
- I remember as a kid when we use to eat out at the old K-Bobs every one in a while, and I thought that was fancy dining. That K-Bobs is now a bank oddly enough.
- There was a big old country wagon turned into a salad bar that caught my attention. And there was a barrel of cracks next to it. While we waited for our food, I always use to dig in there trying to find all the rectangular townhouse crackers since they tasted better than the square saltine crackers.
- I miss K-Bobs. I wonder if there are any that are still around, I would probably eat there just to try to bring back some old memories.
- An Aggie friend of mine brought up that TAMU was looking for a new president and needed someone who was conservative. I mentioned that Sarah Palin no longer has a job. He cringed.
- The soup and cracker mug is a heck of an idea.
- I hear a disc jokey reader of mine is giving me a shout out on the air in Kansas City this morning. I posted a video of that laughing weather man, and now he’s booked on my reader’s radio show.
- What happens when you combine Full Metal Jacket with Star Wars. Link
- The name “Sanyo” means “three oceans” in Japanese. The founder of the company’s wanted to sell his products across the Indian, Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
- A stage group in Austin is putting together a Saved By The Bell skit about Jessie’s pill problem episode. Link
- I bought a safety razor yesterday to kick things old school, wish my face luck.
- Speaking of face, has Marie Osmond got some work done on her face? The skin underneath her eyes look stretched.
- As a Cowboys fan, I’m suppose to have a strong dislike for the Eagles. But I have nothing but respect and admiration, and was extremely envious of the defenses that Jim Johnson put together. He was one heck of a coach, and will be missed. Skin cancer is nothing to scoff at.
- Grace
